Industry Breakfast Meeting

The FEED contract has been awarded to Hatch Pty Ltd. Following this, and post Government and finance approvals, early works and long lead time items ordering will commence in Q2-Q3 2015. Construction of the project is expected to commence in Q3 2015, and continue until early 2017.

The ICN Gateway has been used to advertise the major work package opportunities including:
· Road upgrade and bridges
· Site establishment
· Mine Infrastructure Area (MIA)
· New High Voltage (HV) Transmission Line
· Water and gas supply
· Reverse Osmosis Plant
· Ore extraction crushing and milling

Australian Zirconia Ltd has shortlisted its tenderers for its packages, including the information collected on the Gateway. Tender packages have been going out from December and will continue through until the end of March. Australian Zirconia Ltd and ICN are looking to ensure that local manufacturers have registered their capability with ICN so that sub-contracting opportunities, as well as currently untendered work packages can continue to be linked with potential suppliers. In particular this is capacity in fabrication, civil works and site mechanical and electrical erection. Local Manufacturers are therefore encouraged to register with ICN and discuss upcoming work projects with them.http://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/i3net-industry-breakfast-meeting-feb-2015-registration-15662062651

Comment: Things are heating up. It's nice to have a working mine with cashflow that allows us to move forward while waiting for final permits and conclusion of binding agreements ...
